Zilong came out of the house and walked downstairs, and Xiao Er, who was waiting in the hall, hesitated a little when he saw Zilong.

"Childe?"

"Well, what about the food I ordered?"

"Here, over here, Childe comes with me. ”

Zilong nodded, and then walked towards his seat under the leadership of Xiao Er.

"Childe, the little man is really clumsy, like Childe is so handsome and chic, a handsome and handsome man among people, I really have no eyes, and I hope that Childe will forgive me. Xiao Er led Zilong the way, and did not forget to tout flattery.

"You little, you still have a bit of culture. Zilong felt that he was going to be held to the sky, and I have to say that this little er's sycophant sounds comfortable.

"The son has won the award, and the villain has also won fame, and he is still a little literate. ”

"How many did you get?"

"In the last Central Plains Competition, there were more than 10,000 candidates in the entire Central Plains for the literary examination, and the villain was not talented, ranking eighteenth. ”

"I'm going, eighteen, eighteen, are you here to be a junior?" Zilong was surprised, in his usual impression, how difficult it was to read through Jinglun and dance and make ink, and the eighteenth place in the Central Plains Dabi Wen test was very high.

"I'm ashamed to say it, Gongzi doesn't know that today's Central Plains is extremely prosperous and declining. Like a villain, he can't feel the original true qi, he has no chance with cultivation, and it is difficult to be reused if he doesn't get into the top ten in the literary exam, plus the current atmosphere is not good, and it is difficult to do things without money and power...... Don't hide it from the child, when I first saw the son outside the inn in advance, I regarded the son as asking for food, and I wanted to drive it away, the social atmosphere is like this, and the villain is also deeply infected, and I hope the son will understand. Xiao Er said that at the end, there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

While speaking, Xiao Er had already taken Zilong to a private room on the second floor with a wide view and a beautiful environment.

"Childe, please. ”

Zilong looked at the table of delicacies and invited the troubled junior to sit together.

"Little second brother, come on, anyway, I'll be alone, let's eat together. ”

Xiao Er was taken aback by Zilong's sudden invitation, and he was even suspicious of his ears.

"Come on, I can eat it, but this time it's a bit much. ”

"No, thank you, Childe, but if I let the boss know, I'll be unlucky again. Xiao Er refused.

"What's your name?" Zilong asked.

"The villain's surname is Cao, and the single name is a word. Xiao Er replied truthfully.

"Don't despise others and despise others, don't humble yourself and humble yourself, God rewards diligence, cold and warm self-control, my life is up to me!" Zilong sat on the stool, picked up chopsticks, and said without a word.

Cao Jin listened to what the young man in front of him said, and he was a little choked for a while, Cao Jin repeated Zilong's words in a low voice, his body trembled a little, and then bowed deeply to Zilong.

"Thank you!"

Cao Jin bowed and retreated, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, thinking about what he had done in the past few years.

Since he won the ranking in the Central Plains Competition three years ago, he was full of joy but hit the wall everywhere, and none of the famous families or the palace Wenyuan would accept him. A simple scribe like him does not have much demand, most of the famous families are in their own hands, and the court is corrupt, giving gifts and pulling relationships, and all kinds of internal determinations.

A poor student like him is really desperate, after a bumpy and cold eye, he also began to give up on himself, but in order to support his family, he started running errands in the inn of his hometown without long skills, and after more than a year, his original arrogance has been almost consumed, think about his current self, isn't it the kind of person he hated the most......

On the other side, Zilong had already eaten it with a big feast, he really hadn't eaten such a delicate delicacy for a long time, but Zilong's words in Cao Jinfang's heart had been lingering.

Especially the helplessness when Cao Jin shook his head, he got a good score of eighteen in the Central Plains Dabi Wen Exam but mixed it up like this, Zilong is really a little unimaginable.

This Central Plains Dabi is the largest event in the Central Plains, and it is also the most authoritative and fair competitive platform, when the White Emperor will come in person, the four emperors will come, and the major forces, families, and dynasties in the Central Plains will send people to attend.

There are many kinds of big scores in the Central Plains, in addition to the martial arts test, the literary test, there are also alchemy, animal taming, smelting, medical skills, etc., but the martial arts test is the most grand and the most eye-catching. The Central Plains Contest only allows young people under the age of 20 to participate, in the origin world of longevity, the human race is considered an adult at the age of 20, and this Central Plains Contest aims to select and encourage outstanding young people in the Central Plains, with rich rewards, and is held every four years.

Once it emerges in the Central Plains Competition, it must be the stars holding the moon, the future is immeasurable, countless forces will throw olive branches, the reputation of the Central Plains Competition is so great, even the forces of other lands will come to join in the fun, and take away some seedlings with excellent cultivation talents along the way.

For the major forces in the Central Plains, the performance of their younger generation in each big competition will shake their status and influence to a certain extent, after all, young blood is extremely precious at all times, and it is related to the rise and fall of a family, sect, and dynasty. Zilong only knew the brilliance of the Central Plains martial arts test, but he never knew that the literary test was so bleak, which was why Zilong was so surprised when he heard what happened to Cao Jin.

Zilong knows the Central Plains Dabi so well, naturally there is a reason, when he was in trouble, the Zhao family's original decision was to let Zilong disappear first, and finally appear in the Central Plains Dabi, and achieve a good ranking, the Central Plains Dabi has the White Emperor as the overall plan, the Four Emperors are in charge, and the other party does not dare to mess around, and if Zilong can get the favor of the White Emperor and others, it will not only be a great joy for Zilong himself, but also for the Zhao family.

But Zilong also clearly understands that how can it be so simple, the martial arts test of the Central Plains Competition, nearly a million young people will sign up for it every year, which can be described as a large number of people, and it takes several rounds of screening to obtain the qualification to compete in the final White Emperor City. No matter how many people sign up, only 3,000 people can get tickets to the White Emperor City competition, how easy it is to stand out from the millions of people, even if they have experienced these three years of penance, but it is difficult to make a difference in the Central Plains competition.

Thinking of this, Zilong's appetite has decreased a lot, annoying, and in the distance, he will have to achieve a good ranking in the Central Plains competition in a year before he can return to the Zhao family smoothly. Closer to it, tomorrow is Io's birthday, and the birthday gift he prepared was eaten up by Cheng Fei'er's girl, thinking that he had nothing to show for himself.

"Alas, how sad can you be? Just like the carp in this plate is powerless to swim!" Zilong saw the braised carp in front of him, which triggered melancholy and emotion.

"Brother Tai's words are wrong, you don't see it, the carp leaping dragon gate is in the middle of the day, only the inferior carp plate Chinese food. You don't see, Cangshan and Erhai laugh at the beauty. Don't you see, the west wind is exhausted in front of Huashi Tower, do you dare to get drunk with me tonight?"

A young man in white, polite, with fine skin and tender meat, sat opposite Zilong uninvited, smiling.

"That's right, only the inferior carp will lie on this plate, let others share the food, brother, good literature! Although I am not a beauty, I am also willing to accompany my brother, lying in the sunset, not drunk and not returning!"

"Come on, serve the wine!"

At this time, another junior who was waiting on the second floor hurriedly ran over, looked at the young man opposite Zilong, turned his head, and asked Zilong respectfully.

"Childe, are you all together?"

Hearing Xiao Er's words, the young man in front of Zilong squeezed his eyebrows and winked at Zilong.

"Yes, yes, he's my friend, go get the wine, and serve another pair of chopsticks by the way. Zilong was very cooperative, although he didn't know what was going on, but he opened his mouth, and besides, it was quite boring to eat alone, this teenager who looked about the same age as himself looked like an interesting person.

Soon Xiao Er sent two jars of wine, Zilong filled the wine bowl for the young man, and raised the wine bowl to the young man.

"I said brother, don't you ask me who I am, what is the intention?" The young man was very surprised to see Zilong so cheerful that he didn't even ask about his identity and purpose.

"The friendship of gentlemen, light as water and strong as wine, begins with openness and ends at guessing, you and I have a reason to meet here, so we open our minds and drink this bowl of wine, we are friends!"

Zilong was arrogant for a while, and for some reason, he looked at the handsome young man in front of him very pleasing to the eye.

"Okay!" the boy raised the wine bowl and bumped into Zilong.

The two looked at each other and smiled, drank it all, and drank it heartily.

"Haha, this wine is good, in the next year of seventeen, I don't know how big the brother's platform is. Zilong suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

"Me, little sister...... My little brother just turned sixteen this year, hehe. The young man hurriedly changed his words, and Zilong didn't pay attention to the noisy people in the inn.

"I'm older than you, so I'll be cheeky and call you brother. ”

"Hey, thank you big brother for your hospitality!"

"Brother, let's move the chopsticks, there are so many dishes, I'm worried that I can't finish it alone. Zilong looked at the young man's beautiful big eyes and stared at the roast goose in front of him for a long time, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke at the right time.

"Uh-huh. ”

As soon as the boy said that, he moved his chopsticks and devoured it.

At this time, Cao came in and motioned for himself to come out.

Although Zilong didn't know the reason, he still said hello to the young man, and then came to the side with Cao Jin.

"Childe, do you really know that person?" Cao Jin opened his mouth and asked Zilong.

"I didn't know each other before, but now I know each other. Zilong said bluntly.

"Childe, listen to me, this person has been wandering around in our store for a long time, we asked him whether he was sharpened or lived in the store, he said at first to take a look, and then said to wait for friends, in my opinion, he is here to eat and drink, Childe, don't be deceived by him!" Cao Jin reminded carefully.

"It's okay, I can't finish this table anyway, so you can sit down and eat together." "Zilong doesn't matter, who hasn't been down, thinking that when he first came to Changshan, at that time, the old man Gongsun had not officially accepted himself, in order to pass the test, Zilong was a lot of hardships, exhausted, and finally fainted in the barren forest, if it wasn't for the help of Senior Brother Litao's bowl of porridge, he might not be able to pass the test.

“...... Childe is still careful, I will help Childe keep an eye on him in the dark, and once he makes any changes, I will report to the official. Cao Jin persuaded him.

Zilong smiled a little bitterly, but he couldn't bear to refuse Cao Jin's kindness, agreed, and went back.

He has successfully cultivated his divine sense, and ordinary people can't hide small movements under his nose, if the other party's cultivation is higher than his own, then he can't beat him anyway, he wants to rob or do something else, he can only admit it. But this young man doesn't look like a master, Zilong doesn't believe that a young man who is more powerful than him will eat and drink everywhere hungry.

Returning to his seat, watching the boy eat vigorously, Zilong's appetite was also mobilized, and he accompanied the boy to sweep the food on the table.

Two or three words, delicious meat and delicacies, drinking alcohol, so unhappy, the two accompanied by the afterglow of the sunset, ate the sky full of stars, and the guests dispersed.
